hey, i am thinking about getting tires soon. so i think i want to upgrade from the originals that are on there. First i am thinking of getting new rims, (16x7, 40 offset). so i was wondering what would be a good tire to out on these rims. would a 195/50-16 work, or a 205/50-16. I am worried though about hurting gas mileage though, i can deal with a little sacrifice, but not too much. my car is pretty much stock, other than a K&N cai, and a Full Boar muffler. i appreciate all suggestions. thanks

 

I would go with 205/45 R16. your gas mileage will not be affected much if at all.

 

Tirerack .com , just type in your car and you will get all kinds of suggestions for tires and rims.

 

I went from stock 14" steelies to 16" MB Drifter rims with a 38 offset..tires are 205/50's and here's how tight the clearance is with the rear stabalizer (?) bar.

wouldn't a 40 offset bring the tire and wheel in even more..to the point it will be rubbing this?

 

oh Pablo!

You remind me of my old friend Skeeter.


...he was always carrying on as such.
